Charlie made a good point about how some players are quick to call out fans, but you'll never hear them call out anybody making actual decisions or anyone that actually affects the outcome of the games.

Was Andre Johnson walking off the field essentially booing what was going on? Isn't that a players version of going "booooo!"...?????

Any of them going to call out Andre and tell him show support through thick and thin?

Anyone call out the people actually...you know...contributing to losing games?

Sounds like some posters here.

It's not the texans way. But it's ok, call out the fans all you want.

geez.. this is so true. calling out the fans is low hanging fruit.

i am sure they are as upset as the fans. no one is happy. crazy crazy year.

Two days after Sunday’s 28-23 loss to the Oakland Raiders, Ben Tate clarified his post-game comments about “wishy-washy” fans. Tate was referring to a number of fans at Reliant Stadium who expressed their displeasure over the change at quarterback late in the game.

“Do we try to go out and win every week? Yeah, but booing is not going to help us win especially when you’re in our house and we are in our own place,” Tate said on the Verizon Players show on Texans Radio. “It’s so loud. We can’t hear the cadence. We’ve got guys jumping offsides in the red zone because some of the reasons why are that they can’t hear the cadence.”

In the fourth quarter, the fan reaction was loud enough to force the Texans’ offense to switch to a silent count. The noise level may have been the reason for two false start penalties by Brandon Brooks inside the red zone.

“I’m not saying it’s the fan’s fault that we lost the game at all,” Tate said. “We still have got to play the game. We lost because we didn’t get the job done.”

Tate maintains that his comments were not directed at the entire fan base

Such a depressing thread this turned into with a ton of tldr's, diatribes and Jerry McGuire manifestos.

What ive gathered: Tate is the devil, Case is a savior and the one that hurts me the most... Nobody will be buying Texans Tackle Crackle anytime soon.

Lets just all get behind Matt Schaub. The lousy play and interceptions for touchdowns were an anomaly. Since booing is hurting the teams feelings lets all hold hands and sing we are the world so we can turn this frown upside down.

Kleenex and valium. Shhhh don't tell anyone. The sun will still rise tomorrow! Sucks that you can't take a game for what it is. Feel sorry for ya.

They're not upset that they're being booed. They're upset that fans are booing while they're on offense and it hinders their ability to conduct the offense well. It's not like they're doing so hot on offense to begin with so to make it more difficult is what they're taking exception to. Not that hard to understand.

Fans are free to boo and cheer as they wish, obviously, but booing while the team is on offense is a dumb thing to do.

The only thing harder to overcome than the home crowd booing the offense is being led by a QB with a propensity to eff up the offense. Booing a sorry decision to play a terrible QB is not dumb especially since the outcome is very likely to be another loss.

Yes, you are the crybaby. I did not read anything other than Tate expressing his opinion of the fans at the game. What is the problem with that? The man gave his opinion, responding to a question he was asked. He's a football player in his mid 20s(not exactly a rocket scientist). Who cares if he expressed displeasure about the team (actually his teammate) being booed by the fans? Of course he didn't like it and of course he made a judgment about those that engaged in it. He is a human. Don't you see the irony? I thought fans wanted players to be candid and honest.. Oh, I guess that's only if they say something the fans want to hear.

Ironic, though, that the same fans who assert that the only thing that matters as fans is that their team wins are the same ones engaging in (or defending) an action that made winning less likely. Booing the offense in the fourth quarter when the game is still undecided defeats the very thing that is supposedly so important to you.

You can't talk sense to a lynch mob.

Wow, such stunning insight. You should look into a career as an analyst.

Since you obviously haven't noticed, you're on a team FAN board. Might want to get your context right.

In a vacuum, you'd be right. (Granted this team is sucking so hard right now it FEELS like a vacuum)

Evidently Rico isn't the only one missing where he's posting.

You're making the assumption that putting in Schaub makes a win likely at all.

Nor to the obtuse either.

I'm totally onboard with booing the team if it means they lose more games. This team is a dumpster fire, and needs to continue burning to the ground. Nearly everyone in a position of authority deserves to lose their jobs, Rick Smith, Chris Olsen, Gary Kubiak, Wade Smith, Rick Dennison, Joe Marciano, Vance Joseph, John Benton and Karl Dorrell. The only people I would keep around for the next regime are Bill Kollar, Jeff Zygnonia and Brian Pariani.

So please, keep up the good work fans, the only thing that will right this ship is a full capsizing. Do what you can to help us lose to the Jags, and put us in position to dump the captain of this Titanic failure of a team.
